WHAT DOES MODULAR SOFA MEAN? 

A modular sofa, is a sectional sofa that comes in individual sections. Unlike traditional sofas, these ones are made of multiple pieces that can be joined together to make a sofa of any design and a times even a full set. A modular is one of the most versatile sofas out there and would definitely be one of your best investments yet. 

WHAT IS A MODULAR LOUNGE? 

A modular lounge could refer to a full set of pieces that can be used to make a complete sofa with your preferred outlook. They can either come with recliner end seats or reversible Chaise lounges for further versatility. Depending on the one you buy they can offer even more features.

WHAT IS A CHAISE LOUNGE USED FOR? 

A chaise lounge is essentially designed to offer a kick back relaxing feature to a sofa. With a chaise lounge you either have an extra seat, a footrest, napping area, or a versatile table. They mostly comes as a stool or block that can be moved to different sides of the sofa, but some are mostly attached to one end and can’t be moved. Setting the difference between a reversible chaise and a normal chaise. 

IS A THERAPIST SOFA A CHAISE LOUNGE? 

Therapist sofas mostly allow one sit back or even lie down whilst having their sessions. Depending on the therapist it could either be a reclining sofa to give the patient a relaxing feel. Or it could be an ordinary sofa allowing the patient to lie down fully. In modern French, Chaise can refer to any long chair or soda that allows one to lie back. In history, the chaise was normally used for psychological treatments and so many therapists still continue using it till this day. 

WHAT SIDE SHOULD THE CHAISE BE ON?

The Chaise is mostly associated with l-shaped sofas which can sometimes be referred to corner sofas. So the Chaise’s positioning will depend on whether the sofa is a right or left corner sofa. Also at times the chaise is reversible and can be moved around, and only then is it best to put the chaise on the side without much human traffic so that it won’t intercept people’s movements. 

DO CORNER SOFAS SAVE SPACE? 

Small corner sofas are best when you want to maximize any small living room. They would normally offer more seats than any regular small sofa because of the way they are set up. Buy also, if you buy a large corner sofa it may not suit or fit a small room
